Abstract

Approaching development is something complex, because this process is constant, happens throughout life and is composed of several domains, motor development being one of these, and is defined as changes in movement influenced by the biology of the individual, interactions with environment and with proposed task, constituted by different stages and phases. Evaluation and monitoring the child's growth and development are axes of the National Policy for Integral Attention to Child Health, so promoting and carrying out development monitoring actions is attributed to the health team in primary health care. In this way, the insertion of the Physical Education Professional becomes possible in the performance of the promotion of and in child health through guidance, evaluation, motor interventions, activity prescription, among others. In this sense, the present study reports on the practical experiences of the performance of the Physical Education Professional developed in the child cycle stage by the Multiprofessional Residency Program in Collective Health of the Federal University of Pampa. or the interventions, the use of anthropometric measurements, recording of growth curves, evaluation of reflex and rudimentary movements, orientations for stimulation at home and early motor intervention were adopted. It was noticed that many children are delayed in the motor milestones due to familiar practices that do not offer stimuli that propitiate the development of the child. Therefore, theperformance of the Physical Education Professional with the children's audience contributes to the acquisition of functional skills, but also, it allows the insertion in non-traditional spaces as a health area.
